These often appeared anonymously, sometimes with initials or an abbreviated name, and were sometimes subject to rigid censorship. In the latter case all efforts have been made to trace and reinstate the missing sections. In all, about 400 texts of various kinds are included in the volume, which supersedes previous collections dating back to the last quarter of last century. At the start of the volume is a transcription of Gramsci's very first journalistic article, published in 1910, as correspondent during his summer vacation, from the township of Aidomaggiore, near Ghilarza. The review pays particular attention to Gramsci's involvement in education, and especially to the adult educational question, long-ignored by successive governments from unity of the country on to the period covered. There are comments on his own formative school experience. Essays that he wrote at the high school (lycée) in Cagliari are included in the volume, but in the review we also transcribe, as an important key to his later thinking, the essay that marked the end of his elementary school period, a text not published in the volume since it lies outside the time period dealt with. Closely allied to the question of education is that of culture and the type of culture that remained to be acquired by the subaltern classes in order to transform their living conditions.

Can this close connection find practical application ? This essay will try to answer the question in Gramscian terms, by taking into consideration the methodological approach suggested by Gramsci, with the concept of “disinterested study”, applying it the scholastic field, that is the relation of supremacy-direction to subordination that is established between teacher and learner. The starting point and laboratory is the Italian school, that is the real place in which the method of disinterested study is applied. The protagonists are the teacher (meaning anyone who is teaching), on one side, and the pupil on the other. The teacher must possess the ability to lead, while the pupil is required to study and carry out research, in addition to having the discipline and scientific accuracy necessary in order to overcome his initially subordinate situation. This new relationship between teacher and learner may...
